A few days ago, Zhong Shanshan eclipsed Mukesh Ambani to become the richest Asian. Shanshan is neither a tech giant nor the head of a multinational corporation or a large pharma group. Then who is he? Chinese billionaire Zhong Shanshan is one of the most unique billionaires in the world. His finance comes from being the chairman of two major companies -- 'Nongfu Spring', a bottled water manufacturer, and 'Beijing Wantai Biological Pharmacy Enterprise', a manufacturer of vaccines and hepatitis test-kits. Shanshan's vaccine manufacturer is also involved in developing COVID-19 vaccines.
